Question car wanting to die.

how is everyone doing out there? well i have a problem and i was wondering if anyone could be able to help me out with it. i started when i installed my tc. when the car is started the i have to step on the throttle to keep it running. this is only half of it. when i come to a complete stop the idle surges below 500 rpms and wants to die. i have tried to increase idle but that did not work. now it idles at 800rpms so after it surges for a little bit the idle will go back up. does any one know what is going on? any help would sure be appreciated.
